Kanye West Inspired By Joy & Excitement

Kanye West continues to build the anticipation for his upcoming album, the follow up to his "808s & Heartbreak" album. Kanye says the project will be build around his personal joy and excitement toward things in his life.

"Everyone says all great art comes from pain but I think my greatest art comes from excitement and joy. It's a completely different perspective about being extremely excited about stuff that is only cool to me," West said in a recent Rolling Stone office visit. "Like, when I tweeted, 'What's your credenza game?' I was very excited about that credenza…It was important to not be limited by the art form of rap but to have rap bring it to another level. Is it rap or is it poetry? Is it spoken word? Is it [a] speech?"
